Imagine Ed Woodward now....smacking fuck out of the desk knowing he has OGS in charge and now Potch is a free man

Tottenham are considering José Mourinho as new manager, after sacking Pochettino. And José would be open to start a discussion with Spurs. Daniel Levy will decide on next hours. #THFC #Tottenham #Spurs #Pochettino

Sacking Potch to get Jose, and Jose asking for money off Levy

Someone pat me I'm choking here

Didn't Lyon president said like month ago Jose rejected Lyon waiting for job in London or something. It all makes sense now.

It's either JM or Ancelotti

they have many options beyond those 2

If they were smart they would prise away Nagelsmann from RB Leipzig (Bayern may get him though)

I think he is a superb young manager

long before Frank was even ready, I wanted him here

Wow, if I was United I would go for Poch. 
He is still top dog to me. 
Or who knows Arsenal might turn to him.....

I hope Poch goes to Barcelona.

that would be a great move for both parties

He suits their style and can speak spanish. Messi would like him too and Poch is a Coach I rate very highly. Only real weakness I see is that he has his favourites like Alli. Lucas should have been a starter this season

Alli is one of those players that if they dont score they are basicaly useless in the team.

I'm pretty sure I remember Pochettino saying he would never coach Barcelona because of his ties with Espanyol. Now wether or not he sticks to his word is another thing, he certainly wouldn't be the first one not to. As for the favorite to land him, it has to be United. They've wanted him for a long time and Ole will certainly not last past this season. Bayern could've been an option but he doesn't speak german.

Pep did, he is utterly fluent

so maybe true

Yids back to mid table mediocrity where they belong and the bonus of having a white elephant of a new stadium. Just far too ambitious for a club that's won a single trophy in 20 years and it smacks of desperation if they hire the special needs one.

Don’t do it  Mourinho .......

And then this happened : https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11865307/jose-mourinho-in-tottenham-talks-to-replace-mauricio-pochettino

JM will be thoroughly exposed.

Lampard walks all  over JM, so badly want that to happen, when we play Spuds.

I actually think that underdog status at Spurs would suit Jose really well. Plus they've got a very good attack and plenty of goals in Son-Kane-Moura, which would suit his football and their midfielders and defenders aren't that bad either. Eriksen and Ndombele are the sort of midfielders Jose's United was really lacking. Most of their players are pretty experienced at this point and Jose could also get some new life out of the likes of Alderweireld, Rose etc. who have been in decline for past few seasons now. Slightly worried by this because I think Jose would surprise a lot of people over there even though he is now a bit outdated as a manager. All their top players could actually end up staying if Jose is hired since they all know that with Jose they might just end up winning few trophies.

Of course, as always with Jose, this would be a short-term thing. Fast forward 5 years and Spurs would be absolute shambles but by that time Jose will be long gone

Jose part 1: ruin United

Jose part 2: ruin spuds
